Jozef, I'm NOT an "Obama student". Nor do I have any special allegiance to Unions. I worked in a union shop during the "heyday" of the unions and I saw the obvious imbalances brought on by "too strong" unions. The unions seem to have accepted concessions which will align their costs more closely with the foreign car manufacturers like Toyota in the U.S. and that seems like a relatively good thing to me. It will help to maintain those jobs (and peripheral jobs) in the U.S. and we MAY be able to keep something of a manufacturing base in this country. Maybe you don't care about most of the "working folks" in the U.S. or you're just rich enough or skilled enough that you can just dump this country and move on to another.
